Description This is an over the counter product - it does not require prescription.EicosaDerm is the first hi-potency EPA (Omega-3) product available to the veterinary market. Why? Dogs & cats have strict dietary requirements for certain polyunsaturated fatty acids that are important for maintaining skin and hair coat conditions, reproductive function & tissue repair. Current research shows that Omega-3 fatty acids also play an important role in mediating and regulating inflammatory, immune & aggregatory responses within the body. Omega-3 offers considerable potential for disease prevention and in the therapeutic management of a wide variety of clinical disorders. Subsequently Omega-3 supplements have been used in veterinary trials, predominately in animals with inflammatory and immune-based conditions, with very favorable clinical responses. EicosaDerm has 16.5 calories per 2 mL.
